When visiting Japan, some behaviors can instantly make you stand out as a tourist.
First, wearing sunglasses.
While sunglasses are certainly used in Japan, they’re generally less common in everyday urban settings than in many Western countries. Because of that, tourists often stand out more when wearing them.
Second, driving go karts on public roads.
In places like Tokyo, sightseeing go kart tours have become a famous tourist activity. Most participants are international visitors rather than local residents.
Third, stopping suddenly to take photos.
Tourists often pause in the middle of sidewalks or busy areas to capture photos. In Japan’s fast-moving cities, locals usually try to avoid blocking pedestrian traffic and move aside before stopping.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with being a tourist. But these are some of the little things that can make visitors stand out immediately in Japan.
